I'm still playing NHL 13!
I just won my team's 2nd Stanley Cup (Ottawa Senators) in 3 years - 3 straight Stanley Cup final appearances, too! I wasn't expecting my team to be in the thick of things in the third year; I made a lot of moves to change up the roster, mostly in an effort to bring in younger players. But some trades came up during the year that really made a huge difference - Vancouver sent Henrik Sedin to Nashville, so I jumped on the opportunity to pick up Daniel Sedin. Sent Spezza to Nashville in a package that got me Forsberg in return.
The Stanley Cup Final ended up being Ottawa v. Nashville, so it was Sedin vs Sedin and Spezza returning to play against Ottawa. Really neat. The cup winning game was an OT win with Vincent Lecavalier - a fourth liner - scoring two goals, including the OT winner.
I signed a 4-year extension with Ottawa and I'm expected to make the playoffs this year (albeit with a lot fewer wins expected!). I could have gone on to a different team but I like the team I'm building. I had 4 roster players retire (Alfredsson, Lecavalier, Chara [picked him up on waivers from Boston] and Phillips). I had to let Anderson go to free agency, as he wouldn't re-sign (apparently my team is full in the goalie position), so I'm going with Lehner/Hammond. Going to be an interesting year!
